Thanks for the reviews everyone. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hospital, 11pm

Delko: *walks in* Hey, the doctor said you weren't feeling very well.

Jess: Go away Eric.

Delko: What's wrong? You were fine when I was here before.

Jess: I don't want to talk to anyone right now, okay?

Delko: *sits* I want to know what's wrong.

Jess: *sits up, wipes eyes* You don't know what's wrong? You honestly have NO idea?

Delko: It could be a lot of things. You just went through hell and back.

Jess: ...Three times, I made it out alive. Three. And my baby's dead. She didn't do anything wrong and I've had a lot of time to think about that. You know what wanted to be when she grew up? Barbie's special hair stylist.

Delko: *stares at Jess*

Jess: I can still remember how sad she was when we left for California. She kept asking me 'where's dadddy', 'why did daddy have to stay in Miami', and then two years later she finally saw you again. Do you have any idea how happy it made her? I hadn't seen her smile like that in a long time. I thought everything was going to be okay again.

Delko: It's not your fault she was killed.

Jess: No but it's my fault that I left you. It's my fault that I didn't fight a little harder for her! *starts to cry* I may as well have pulled the trigger!

Delko: *grabs Jess' hand* It's okay, Jess. You're allowed to be upset.

Jess: *hugs Eric*

Delko: You have the right to be upset.

Bar, 11:30 pm

Speed: *sits*

Bartender: What can I get you?

Speed: I'm actually looking for someone. His name's Warren, he frequents this bar.

Bartender: Oh you mean 'The' stud. I've seen him around, he should be anywhere the women are. You're...Not a cop, are ya? Because you'd need a warrant or somethin' to search around here.

Speed: *looks around*

Guy trots over, women hanging off of him, sits down

Warren: *smiling* Ladies, ladies, give a man some room to breathe.

Woman1: The only room you need has my number on it.

Warren: Mm, I like the sound of that.

Woman2: But of course he promised one last dance with me, right?

Warren: *smiling* Anything for my favorite girls. But for now, give me a few.

Woman2: Sure thing darling.

Woman1: *kisses Warren*

Women walk away

Warren: *looks over* Got a light?

Speed: No.

Warren: This club's great ain't it? Beautiful women everywhere. Hey barkeep! Send everyone a round on the house.

Bartender: You got it.

Warren: What'll you have?

Speed: A word. *lifts picture* Ever spend any time with her?

Warren: Hey man I spend time with a lot of women, if you know what I mean. *laughs* Money and cheap booze will get you squared away with 'em all. It's all about the game.

Speed: *nods* Her name's Anni.

Warren: *stares at picture* Hey. *points to picture* THAT girl there, is a classy chick.

Speed: So you remember her.

Warren: I might. Liked tequila and long walks on the beach. *laughs* That gal had bitchin' legs on 'er. *whistles* Mmm mmm she liked it rough. Haven't heard from her in a couple of weeks though.

Speed: Try a month.

Warren: You a cop or somethin'? She dead?

Speed: She's pregnant.

Warren: *tilts head* Yeah well good luck to her.

Speed: And she's my wife.

Warren: She didn't say she was married.

Speed: Of course she didn't. She sure mentioned you though.

Warren: Pfft, it's a two way road to pregger-ville. She's the one that started it. Makes me think you need a little help in the love department.

Speed: I think you have a bigger problem than I do.

Warren: *shrugs* That's life. Besides, I don't got much time left as it is. *drinks beer*

Speed: Convenient.

Warren: *laughs* These girls around here don't know it but I've got AIDS. *scoffs* Their problem now.

Speed: *stares at Warren*

Warren: So, what'll you have? A beer?

Speed: You son of a bitch. *grabs Warren*

Warren: HEY! HEY!

Speed: *swings fist*

Warren: AH! *falls against bar*

Bartender: *grabs phone*

Woman1: *runs over* Baby!

Woman2: Hey! Let go of him!

Speed: *punching Warren*

Warren: *screaming*

Five minutes later, sirens are heard

Bartender: *runs to door*

Warren: *hanging over bar*

Speed: *smashes Warren's face into bar*

Warren: UGH!

Cop: *walks in, grabs Speed*

Cop2: *walks in* Everyone get back.

Woman2: He beat him up!

Cop2: Yes ma'am we see that.

TBC...................
 
Woah!!!, I bet Warren didn't see that one coming!, I thought Speed was gonna kill him if the cops hadn't arrived. I can't believe Anni would have slept with a jerk like that in the first place, even though he knew he had aids...bastard. I hope Anni will be alright, but wait until she finds out about Warren and what Speed's done than sparks will fly alright!

thanks Geni update was fab!
 
That update was awesome! Geni , you are the queen of twists! I sure hope that Anni is alright....And for the record, I don't think she would've slept with him if she'd not been so desperate..but psha...he is an ass *smacks RT Anni* what the hell...

And Jess...finally some release! I'm glad she got it out, but I suspect that there is more where that came from. Maybe she will be able to deal a bit better now that she's had that inital breakdown.

Awesome, simply awesome! I cannot wait to find out what happens next!:D
 
Oh ma dear lord the man can fight. Speed's just beating that guy to a bloody pulp! Deserves it, he thinks women are just...just THINGS. Gah! Because of stupid men like YOU, we had to burn our bras. :lol: Whatever, go Speed.
Speed: *punching Warren*
Warren: *screaming*
Click to expand...
*laughs* Coward. You sleep with women and THEY can fight back better then you. (Well, some.)

Anyways, thanks for the update Gen! :D
 
AWESOME!! I think this is the second time I read about Speed fighting someone. If its not then just ignore me. That guy Warren is a dumb butt. I want to punch him in the face also.
 
Arg, my laptop decided to die so apologies re the lateness of this update. I was supposed to have one up this morning. Anyhow.

Yeah I agree, RT Anni would never normally do that kind of thing. However, there are the type of guys who are two-faced so Anni may not have known how much of a lizard this dude was.

Anywho, thanks for the reviews!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Holding cell, 9am

Horatio: *walks in*

Speed: *sits up*

Horatio: You landed your pinata in the hospital. He has a fractured neck.

Speed: I-

Horatio: Don't. And here we go again. I'm tired of cleaning up your messes, Speed.

Speed: He said-

Horatio: He was lying. I looked at his medical records. Why he lied is what I have to find out but in the meantime, I'm going to look into your behaviour.

Speed: What for?

Horatio: I spoke to Katie this morning. She said you and Anni had a fight last night shortly before you left.

Speed: It was an argument.

Horatio: I'm going to speak with her and anyone else you've had contact with in the past month.

Speed: H, I didn't hurt her.

Horatio: I guess I'll find out, won't I? *leaves*

Speed: *sigh*

Hotel, Miami

Lora: WAKE UP!

Heather: *turns over* Go away mom.

Lora: What? I'm not your mom. *jumps on bed repeatedly* We have to plan the ski trip!

Heather: *covers head* Stop jumping.

Lora: Too bad.

Heather: OW! MY HAIR!

Lora: Your hair feels pain?

Heather: No, my skull does. *punches Lora's leg*

Lora: OW! *falls off bed*

Carly: *sits up* It's 9 in the morning. What ever happened to sleeping in?

Lora: I abolished it so we could plan the ski trip Heather doesn't want to go on.

Heather: I didn't say I don't want to ski, I said I don't want you jumping on my bed.

Lora: Think of it as training.

Heather: Ugh. *sits up*

Lora: Now, I saw this neat program on the tv about skiing. *turns on tv*

Carly/Heather: *stare at tv*

Lora: WHOOPS! That channel doesn't belong there. *pressing buttons* How do you get rid of this thing?

Heather: I'm scarred for life.

Carly: Why are they so oily?

Lora: *turns off tv* Okay so why don't we just look at the brochures I stole from that Scandinavian couple downstairs.

Heather: Why's there booze all over the hotel room?

Lora: I had a party.

Carly: While we were asleep?

Lora: ...It was a solo party.

Interview room

Horatio: So what happened last night?

Anni: *shrugs*

Horatio: Katie witnessed it, Speed admitted it and I want to know what started it.

Anni: It started when Katie mentioned Warren.

Horatio: The man you slept with.

Anni: Yeah.

Horatio: Where was Katie when it happened?

Anni: In the laundry room.

Horatio: So she didn't see the entire thing.

Anni: I don't know.

Horatio: Okay, how did Speed react?

Anni: He seemed fine at first. But then he got agitated and smashed my phoned against the wall.

Horatio: Did he hurt you?

Anni: No.

Horatio: Did you feel threatened last night?

Anni: What kind of questions are these?

Horatio Routine.

Anni: Well I don't want to answer any more questions.

Horatio: That's fine.

Anni: *stands, leaves*

Half hour later

Katie: *sits* So what's this about?

Horatio: What it's always about.

Katie: I heard about how Tim attacked that guy.

Horatio: Mhm.

Katie: So now you want me to come to his defense?

Horatio: I want you to tell the truth.

Katie: Did the guy die?

Horatio: Not yet.

Katie: *sigh*

Horatio: Where were you when the argument started?

Katie: The laundry room.

Horatio: Did you see Speed hurt Anni.

Katie: I saw him throw a phone.

Horatio: Did you feel Anni was in danger?

Katie: You're questioning me about this because of some guy?

Horatio: There might be two crimes here. And it starts with his history.

Katie: You think he's abusive.

Horatio: *stares at Katie*

Katie: So you think he's probably going to walk because the guy's going to die and he'll claim self defense. So you want to prove he hurt Anni first or that he ever hurt me or anyone else in his family. That's rich. He used to be a cop.

Horatio: You're free to go. I'll talk to Lori.

Katie: *stands, leaves*

15 minutes later

Horatio: *sits* You've been aprised of the case?

Lori: I heard about it.

Horatio: Good. So I have a few questions for you. Did he ever threaten you?

Lori: No.

Horatio: Did he ever hurt you?

Lori: No.

Horatio: Have you ever felt threatened by him?

Lori: No.

Horatio: Have you ever seen him hurt a family member?

Lori: No.

Horatio: Have you seen him hurt someone not in your family?

Lori: No.

Horatio: *looks down at folder* Had you at any time witnessed him using narcotics?

Lori: *stares at Horatio*

Horatio: *lifts head*

Lori: No.

Horatio: Has he ever to your knowledge abused alcohol?

Lori: No.

Horatio: Do you feel he's capable of murder?

Lori: ...

Horatio: Lori, I don't want to have to ask these questions but there's something obviously wrong with the picture and there has been for quite some time. I think it has to do with when he and Jess were on that plane. Jess has been erratic lately and now him. I need to know his history.

Lori: ...I noticed something wrong when he got back to Miami with that Phil guy.

Horatio: Okay, how?

Lori: *sigh* I don't know. I mean, he is not the same person he was years ago. After he married Anni, he became calm, patient, gentle...I don't know what happened on that plane but he scares the hell out of me. And now that Jess has had a random heart attack, who knows what happened up there.

Horatio: Thank you. *leaves*

Hospital

Horatio: *opens file*

Delko: *walks over* That's Jess' medical chart.

Horatio: Something's not right Eric.

Delko: What do you mean?

Horatio: When did Jess start complaining of chest pain?

Delko: She never did.

Horatio: *lifts brows*

Delko: Why?

Horatio: Who was it that told you Jess was having health problems.

Delko: Speed.

Horatio: How did he know.

Delko: I guess he saw that she was having trouble.

Horatio: But you didn't.

Delko: No, she was just leaning against a tree.

Horatio: Did she ever tell you what happened on the plane?

Delko: Not in detail.

Horatio: Okay here's the problem I'm seeing. Jess' blood tests came back with a high level of norepinephrine.

Delko: That's adrenaline, right?

Horatio: Mhm. Norepinephrine regulates the body's blood pressure, doesn't it?

Delko: And if levels get high enough it can cause cardiac arrest, okay so why would Jess have high levels of norepinephrine in her system?

Horatio: That is a very good question. *puts phone up to ear* Mister Wolfe, book an appointment with our friend Mason. We're not finished with him yet.

County Prison

Horatio: Sit down.

Mason: *sits*

Horatio: I'm curious as to why Jess had high levels of norepinephrine in her system.

Mason: I don't know.

Delko: She was fine before she got onto your plane so you might try explaining this. You had complete control of the situation.

Mason: No one ever has complete control.

Delko: Yeah well something happened. Were they dosed? Did you try to hop them up on drugs to motivate them into breaking into a government building? Or maybe you just wanted to kill them.

Mason: I take it you're the husband.

Delko: You're damn right I'm the husband and I want answers.

Mason: I didn't give them anything. But something did concern me.

Delko: Which was what?

Mason: I found a syringe in my office. I questioned Phil about it, he said it was to subdue your former cop friend. I didn't believe him.

Horatio: What do you think it was for?

Mason: I don't know.

Horatio: Okay, did you ever leave Phil alone with any of the two of them?

Mason: When I spoke to the male hostage, he was with Jessica. When I spoke to Jessica, he was with the male hostage.

Delko: So he had access to both of them.

Mason: Yes.

Delko: *looks at Horatio* We're going to need that syringe.

Horatio: I agree.

Hotel, Miami

Lora: Horatio's never coming for us. *downs tequila*

Carly: How many of those shots have you had?

Lora: *belches*

Heather: Whew. *flaps hands* I don't want to know.

Lora: This sucks. Horatio's like the best guy EVER. How come he doesn't want me?

Heather: Maybe your drinking puts him off.

Carly: *snickers*

Lora: No like, he's like, not like, liking me like all of a sudden. Like.

Heather: I think she needs more alcohol.

Carly: Oh yeah definitely.

Lora: Am I so horribable?

Carly: No you're horrible.

Lora: *nods* I knew it.

Heather: Why do you like him so much?

Lora: Um he's like JAMES BOND.

Carly: Minus the suaveness.

Lora: Agh. I WANT TO SKI. Let's go skiing.

Carly: I don't think you should be skiing in your condition.

Lora: Come on ladies, let's take a road trip of our own. Y'know, the sunset in the background, the wind in our hair, the highway ahead of us! Picture this. Naked men EVERYWHERE.

Heather: ...

Carly: ...

Plane, Warehouse

Horatio: *places gloves on* Okay Eric, let's have a look.

Delko: A lot of foot traffic went through here. Paramedics, FBI, us. Could have botched our evidence.

Horatio: *nods*

Ryan: *walks over* Funny how the cases always seem to find us no matter where we are.

Delko: *kneels*

Horatio: You get any information from the FBI?

Ryan: Yeah though it took some teeth pulling. *hands over picture* This guy belonged to Phil's little entourage.

Horatio: *smirks* Hello Warren.

Delko: H, I got something.

Horatio: Yeah.

Delko: *lifts syringe* Found it lodged under the carpet. Must have gotten kicked around when the paramedics ran in.

Ryan: So how does Anni manage to get together with a guy who's part of the same group as Phil, the guy who supposedly dosed Jess and Speed with norephinephrine? Coincidence?

Horatio: Go talk to Anni and find out.

Ryan: Sure. *leaves*

Delko: *stands* She was with the guy a month. Who knows what could have happened.

Interrogation room

Ryan: *sits* You're not really pregnant, are you.

Anni: *blinks* What are you talking about?

Ryan: *leans back on chair* Warren, the guy you were supposedly having an affair with, belongs to a gang that cartels guns, drugs, kids, you name it. And it just so happens we put a guy away that also belonged to that gang. The only difference is, he helped kidnap Jess and Speed. Now we already know Mason had quite a different plan than Phil did.

Anni: Phil?

Ryan: The guy on the plane who knew Warren. And do you know how Warren made his money to hit all the nice clubs on South Beach? He sold cocaine. Funny how that's the very substance Phil was going to steal from the crime lab.

Anni: *crosses arms* Fine, I lied about being pregnant. Tim never paid attention to me because of Katie. She was always in his face so yeah, I faked a pregnancy and blamed it on Warren, big deal. But I didn't conspire anything with the guy.

Ryan: So...When a kid didn't pop out of you in 9 months, what were you planning on telling him?

Anni: I was planning on faking a miscarriage.

Ryan: *lifts brow*

Anni: I wasn't hurting anyone.

Ryan: *throws pictures on table* Yeah? Well someone did get hurt. Your new boyfriend was beaten to hell by your husband who coincidentally was hopped up on adrenaline given to him on that plane.

Anni: Well I don't know anything about that. I met Warren through a club, that's all.

Trace Lab

Horatio: *walks over* Calleigh.

Calleigh: *grabs paper from printer* Hey.

Horatio: Are those the results from the syringe?

Calleigh: Yep. *looks down at paper* Norepinephrine.

Horatio: Alright we know now that they were given it on the plane but that doesn't explain why it's still in their systems.

Calleigh: Phil travelled down to Miami right? He could have given it to Speed in any number of ways and in any amount.

Horatio: But what about Jess?

Calleigh: *smiles* I actually have an explanation for that.

Horatio: Let's hear it.

Calleigh: Jess was admitted to the hospital for a stab wound and an infection, right? Well the loss of blood means loss of blood pressure.

Horatio: And loss of blood pressure means they would have given her epinephrine to boost the heart.

Calleigh: Too much and it causes a heart attack. Blood pumps too hard and too fast, blood pressure increases until the heart can't take it anymore. The paramedics probably saw the amount of blood she'd lost and gave her more epinephrine without checking her stats. They were having some trouble with her on the way to the hospital, right?

Horatio: And they couldn't figure out why.

Calleigh: *sigh* The heart attack she just had probably wasn't her first. She would have had one when she got to the hospital after the hostage ordeal. It was probably covered up so it wouldn't look like the paramedics gave her the wrong dose of epi.

Horatio: *scoffs* They sent her home.

Calleigh: The memorial service put a lot of stress on her already damaged heart muscles.

Horatio: The question now becomes, why were they administered the norepinephrine in the first place?

TBC......................
 
Woo! Go Speedy! Though Horatio's "Is he abusive?" questions kinda crack me up. Has he even met Speed? He was way abusive towards Katie. That was why she left him and moved to California. Horatio must be getting older than we think *snickers* *hides from Lora*

Oh man, Horatio forgot about us? Pfft, figures. He's old, remember? :p *hides even more stealthily from Lora* Hey, we're cool! *hi-fives Lora and Heather* And we drink muchly *nods* Hey, I'm old enough to do that now! Hee.

*gasp* Anni! Wow, RT Anni has changed so much. There was a time when she would've joined us in the room, though she would've been watching the...questionable channel on purpose :p And now she's all faking pregnancies and conspiring with dodgy guys. Yeesh, maybe it's just the effect marrying Speed has on people...

please update soon!
 
Great update there Geni, I can't believe that Anni has faked her pregnancy? :eek:, how could she do that?. Speed is gonna be pissed when he finds out about it. :mad:

You're fab Geni, you never fail to surprise us. :)

update soon please :D
 
Geni! Again, I say, queen of twists...Anni faked a pregnancy? That's not going to sit well with Speed at all, especially if he's hopped up on some super drug. I tremor with fear at the road that Anni's chosen to walk down. I really hope that things work out.

This is becoming a page turner( or mouse clicker, hehe)! I can't wait for another update!

Excellent work!
 
.....WOW. I didn't see that coming at all. I'm still slightly confused, and I'm probably going to have to read it a few times before I actually get it, but it's a nice twist. Now I'm gonna have to go look up noropoopooprine.....or whatever, and see what it is lol. I wonder who gave her the noropoopooprine? Was it Mason? Was it Phil? Was it Speed? Wait, it can't be Speed, right? He has the noropoopooprine in him too. Must be Phil....right? hmmmmmmm lol Great update Geni, I can't wait to see what happens!
 
Heather: Why's there booze all over the hotel room?
Lora: I had a party.
Carly: While we were asleep?
Lora: ...It was a solo party.
Click to expand...
:lol: i should use that term more often. :lol:

WHOA. Calleigh's back!! We haven't seen her in..in....(Geni quick how long has it been?)

ACK and Horatio's being all serious again...
Lora: This sucks. Horatio's like the best guy EVER. How come he doesn't want me?
Heather: Maybe your drinking puts him off.
Carly: *snickers*
Lora: No like, he's like, not like, liking me like all of a sudden. Like.
Heather: I think she needs more alcohol.
Carly: Oh yeah definitely.
Lora: Am I so horribable?
Carly: No you're horrible.
Lora: *nods* I knew it.
Heather: Why do you like him so much?
Lora: Um he's like JAMES BOND.
Click to expand...
:lol: :lol: Thanks for the gigantic update Gen. :D
 
^ Don't worry Jess, you won't be confused for long. :p

And uh uh uh, I have no idea how long it's been since we've seen Calleigh. :eek:

Heh, thanks so much for the reviews gals, y'all are fab. :D *huggles*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the road, tiny car

Heather: So why do I have to drive?

Lora: Because if I drive, we'll end up in the ocean.

Carly: How come we didn't invite anyone else?

Lora: BECAUSE Carly, we're going on a road trip of our own. Weren't you listening?

Carly: I was but aren't road trips more fun with more people?

Lora: Hey if the team could survive with only four people, they can survive with the other 12 or 13 they have left.

Heather: Man there are a lot of people. It's a wonder Horatio remembers all of them.

Lora: Why, because he's old?

Heather: N-No, no because he's...Wise.

Lora: *starts to cry*

Carly: What's her problem?

Heather: Lora thinks I think Horatio's old.

Carly: Do you?

Heather: Yeah but she doesn't have to cry.

Lora: *playing with window button* Window goes up, window goes down.

Carly: I see she's 'over it'.

Heather: Don't break my windows.

Lora: I'll leave the kids with their pants down their ass for that.

Heather: So where are we going?

Lora: Vermont.

Heather: Where's that?

Lora: Up.

Heather: Thanks, that helps.

Carly: I don't ski very well.

Lora: We'll put you on the bunny hill.

Hospital--next day

Horatio: *walks in* Jess?

Jess: What.

Horatio: How are you feeling?

Jess: Like a pawn in someone's twisted game.

Horatio: I was wondering if you felt up to speaking with someone.

Jess: *shrugs*

Horatio: Since you're not able to leave, Mason put in a special request to see you.

Jess: I thought death row inmates couldn't do that.

Horatio: They can't. Fortunately, he hasn't gone to trial and the judge doesn't think he's a threat. At least not imminently.

Jess: Well it's not like I can say no, I mean, he managed to get out of prison for an hour, right?

Horatio: One hour exactly.

Jess: He must have quite the power if a judge let him out.

Horatio: Well the one thing a judge doesn't want is retaliation from the rest of his gang. It's less of a risk to grant his request. If I understand correctly, this particular judge is being looked into for having his hands in the right pockets, if you know what I mean.

Jess: *scoffs* He sure gets around.

Horatio: So, I'll see him in.

Jess: Fine.

Horatio: *leaves*

Five minutes later

Mason: *walks in*

Five patrol cops stand at door

Jess: You must feel special.

Mason: *sits* I heard what happened to you.

Jess: Is that because you planned it?

Mason: Lieutenant Caine told me.

Jess: What do you care? You wanted me dead. And the last time we spoke, you weren't exactly aiming to divulge anything. You have NO right to be here.

Mason: No I don't. But...I was so caught up in my anger that I didn't stop to think about the past. You never hurt me, Jess. You were the only one who never did.

Jess: *rolls eyes*

Mason: I need to make this right.

Jess: Yeah, how?

Mason: Let's just say Phil won't be seeing daylight anytime soon.

Jess: *frowns, whispers* You had him killed?

Mason: I'm already on death row, it won't make a difference.

Jess: How did you do it?

Mason: I have ressources at my disposal, despite being behind bars.

Jess: *rubs forehead* I can't believe we're having this conversation.

Mason: Years ago I had promised you'd be okay. My judgement has been clouded since then and all I wanted to do was hurt everyone. I blamed everyone else but myself for how I turned out. I've kept every promise but that one.

Jess: Is this your mobbed out murderous way of saying you love me?

Mason: I wouldn't go so far as to say it's love. But I have a responsability to that promise.

Jess: Yeah well you can't unbreak something. Go back to your death hole.

Mason: *stands* Alright. *walks to door* ...*turns around* Jess.

Jess: *looks up* What.

Mason: Because I broke that promise to you, I also broke it to your daughter. I was wrong in killing her.

Jess: You think that'll make you sleep better at night?

Mason: I hope I never sleep again. *leaves*

Jess: *lifts brow*
